Plusminus Essentials Lighting Toolkit

Overview

Plusminus Essentials is a solution based on the Plusminus system that simplifies configuration through predefined toolboxes. Each toolbox combines the elements needed for easy-to-configure compositions while keeping the flexibility of the original system. Design by Diez Office.

Four toolboxes

The four toolboxes define configurations with or without tension, in two belt lengths of 6 m or 10 m. Loose toolboxes suspend the belt freely and tensile toolboxes hold it in tension. Every toolbox holds the conductive textile belt plus installation and electrical connection accessories, with additional units for on-site adjustments. Additional fittings can be added up to a maximum of 60 W.

Three steps

First a toolbox is chosen, then the luminaires, with finishes and LED colour temperature configured to suit the space, and last optional accessories such as wire connectors or counterweights can be added.

Finishes and control

There are five luminaire finishes and five belt colours. Control type and electrical connection are chosen within the predefined options of each box.

From system to toolbox

Plusminus Essentials is the evolution of the Plusminus collection towards a simpler user experience: a ready-made lighting solution held in four toolboxes.

Light that follows the belt

"The idea behind Plusminus is to allow light to adapt to space. Essentials simplifies that process without losing its logic." — Stefan Diez. Light unfolds along the textile belt, adapting to the space and its use, and the compositions accompany architecture with balance and flexibility.

Loose and tensile compositions

Loose configurations suspend the belt freely for more fluid compositions, while tensile configurations hold it in tension for more defined ones. In three steps a composition can be put together and brought to fruition within a week.
